Life away from rugby is just as important to Amy Cokayne as matters on the field. As an RAF police officer, the Leicester Tigers and Red Roses she has found comfort outside the sport after missing out on the chance to become world champions in 2017. From growing up with a nomadic childhood including her early rugby years in New Zealand, to playing against her future partner in the Army v Navy game and why a football club inspired her initials, Cokayne opens up on her life as a Red Rose.

In this pod you will also hear from her brother Tom, mum and dad Ian and Sharon, as well as her partner Bethan Dainton, and from England team mates Emily Scarratt and Maddie Feaunati.
